You as an audience member will have the opportunity to ask questions as well. It’s free to participate.

    The schedule, links, and bios of the filmmakers and a list of actors  to the daily readings can be found on the 2025 Festival page once available.

  • Unfortunately, many independently made films are not always captioned or subtitled. However, if we know of films that are, we will note that in the event page where the film is screening.

  • Most Q&As in the festival will be held in-person after the screenings. Some Q&As may be held live online or pre-recorded and be uploaded online afterwards as well.

    Check out our YouTube page here for any recorded Q&As.
